Sleeping With The Bears...Again!

Remember the first day of school?  It is hard to believe that I now have a 1st grader and a 3rd grader...where did my babies go?  School ended on Thursday and the girls were so excited!  The picture below was from the first day.  Visit both of their pages by clicking their tabs at the top of this page.  We added all kinds of pictures that their teachers took this year, and some special memory books that the girls made!
Since school was out why not go camping?  Um maybe because it was cold and rainy, no that doesn't stop the Lokkens, so we were off to Jellystone to camp with friends!
Setting up camp before it rained!

Playing with the bears.

Makyah could not wait to get her hair braided again!  This time she didn't even cry!
We went camping with friends this year and it was so fun for the kids.  The Gallaghers and Winters came along for the fun.  The kids even swam, despite the cold.  Oh yeah but they also had a hot tub!
Cambree and Reese in the hot tub.
Cal and Kyah are hot tubbing it too!
Not Steve and Jerry they are spectators.

Since it was cool, on Saturday we went in town to Knuckleheads arcade for a few hours.  The kids had fun, we warmed up and had a bite to eat.






When we got back we did a little mini golfing with the Ranger.
We also took a glow "Hey" ride around the park, and yelled, "Hey" to all the campers.  This is the way this ride works because there is no real hay!
Playing in the tent!

Saying goodbye to the bears.  Cambree agreed with Boo Boo, Jellystone is number 1!
On Sunday we packed up and stopped in town to swim a bit at Mt. Olympus because we had some free tickets. Notice there is not any photos because we were not there long! It may have been sunny but it wasn't warm, so we swim in the indoor water park and then headed to the outlet mall on the way home.
Sunday was also Cal and my 12th anniversary!  Since we dated for an additional 8, we have been together 20 years!  It is hard to believe that we have been together over half of our lives.  He takes such good care of me and the kids, I am so very lucky!  I ♥ U Caleb! ( I also added some pictures under our tab at the top, looking back over 20 years!)

It was a great weekend and super fun to hang with friends.  On Friday when I was sitting by the fire with an umbrella and a space heater on my lap, I wasn't so sure it would be fun, but how can you not when you are with friends and sleeping with the bears!
Have a great week, don't forget to visit our pages before you leave! 
 Love, The Lokkens
